 1980 Jeep Wagoneer. 3rd owner. Purchased in December '13 from Montana as a project. Runs and drives fine. Brakes work. All power options. Burgundy Vinyl interior. Was originally White w/woodgrain but was painted by previous owner. AMC 360 runs great, needs choke adjusted. 727 3 speed automatic trans. NP208 transfer case(part-time) trans shifts like its supposed to, and the 4wd works great. Dana 44 front, AMC20 rear(not sure of the gearing). Has dealer installed travel tank(secondary fuel tank). General tires with lots of tread. Had 48700 miles when I got it shipped here, but the speedo cable was not hooked up. Replaced it and its at 49000 miles now but the last time I was home it stopped working(I think the cable may have frayed from the angle through the firewall, but it did work). Body has maybe 2 or 3 very small spots with surface rust, but no rust through. A couple dings here and there. Frame is nice, and so are the edges all around underneath(Flares, body edges, etc.).Trim is all there and most chrome is good, maybe a few spots here and there that aren't great(it is a 34 year old truck, but I have extra parts available for most of the bad stuff(roof rack slats, tail light, bumpers, etc.) Paint is ugly. Interior isn't terrible, but the door panels are showing their age. seats are nice except for two tears on the back seat from a roof rack that a previous owner had in the backseat. Could use new carpet, but it looks like the front carpet has been replaced already at least once. headliner is nice and firm but has a few cigarette burns and small stains. most of the trim is there and in decent shape, it needs a reflector piece for the drivers side arm rest, and a door pull and some minor odds and ends, but I've seen a lot worse interiors. dash is nice except for a hole where there's what looks like speaker grating in the middle of the dash on top(see pictures)power locks not working, rear passenger window not working. driver side rear window works but may be off track. A/C has been converted to r134 already. Cruise control not working(I believe this is because the speedo cable is not hooked up) 

I bought this truck as a project, and spent the last 6 months gathering parts for it, but getting parts is easier than replacing them. I drive a truck for a living, and the 1 week I might get off in a given month just isn't enough time to devote to it, so I'd rather sell it than leave it sit and rust. It's not perfect and it's got its bumps but It runs and drives, and really it's only about 10% from being perfect, but that last 10% is the really expensive stuff(paint, interior). Honestly if you put another 4 or 5 grand into this thing it would be as good or better than anything they're selling on Wagonmasters. It just needs someone with the time to do it, or the money to make it someone else's problem.

Asking $5500obo for the Jeep and the parts and work that have already gone into it. I plan on selling all the spare parts I've accumulated to cover the rest of the money I've spent, but if you buy the Jeep and would like some of the parts, I'm sure we can work something out.

2016 Jeep Wrangler to ditch solid axles to save weight?

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

Hey, Jeep fans. If you think the idea of a funky-looking, car-based Cherokee revival is offensive, have a listen to what might be in store for the next-gen Jeep Wrangler. Automotive News is reporting that as Jeep develops the 2016 Wrangler, weight reduction is a crucial target, and the Wrangler's rugged solid axles could be sacrificed in the name of better fuel economy.
We've already heard the next Wrangler will go on a serious diet using aluminum body panels and an air suspension system, so the idea of a four-wheel independent suspension setup for this OG SUV isn't all that surprising. Besides, it's not like an independent suspension would limit the Wrangler's off-road abilities - just check out the Hummer H1. In fact, it might be the aftermarket parts companies - not Wrangler enthusiasts - who would be most disappointed by such a drastic suspension change, as the article states that the Wrangler's solid axles and coil-link suspension make it the most popular SUV for customization.
There are probably still a couple years before we'll start hearing any concrete details about the 2016 Wrangler, at which time it will be interesting to see how stricter fuel economy and crash safety regulations have been balanced with traditional Wrangler cues like its removable doors and roof and folding windshield. Let us know in the comments below if a Wrangler sans solid axles is any less of a Wrangler.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
